I think you provided recruiters with a concise and useful guide.

Note to recruiters of competitive positions/professions who aren’t with employers-of-choice:
If you don’t have something exceptional to offer ($$, benies, QoWL, true opportunity, not just marketing hype), you shouldn’t expect to hire exceptional candidates (whether active or passive) PERIOD: they’re SO not into you…

Happy Friday,

Keith

I agree that people don’t want to sit through irrelevant videos. The videos should focus on the hiring manager, the team, and the environment. If you put it in front of a targeted audience (i.e. a segment of your talent community), you can quickly track the results to see who may have interest. It’s like pre-qualifying people. Then you can spend your time wisely on the phone, versus calling 200 people of whom you have no idea their level of interest. If I know they have watched my hiring manager in a video, then I know they will at least have an opinion one way or the other by being informed. I’m not suggesting that you don’t need to pick up the phone. I’m simply saying you can help your cause by having a great message from the actual manager to take to market.

You basically have two types of job seekers. Ones that are active job seekers and those that are not looking.

Active job seekers…they just don’t care and you don’t have a HUGE ROI on this. They want to read the job details and not sit through a video showcasing your massive server rooms for example

For Passive candidates it’s even worse. They really don’t care.

I am hoping to be wrong here, but I’m in the trenches and I just don’t see this trend gaining a lot of momentum unless you’re willing to have celebrities, rock stars, or very very creative videos to really draw the type of person to get interested in your company.

In the end, recruiters still got pick up the phone and just call.

But I’d like to add one more to the list! You mentioned making your job description more exciting. Well how else can you do this other than updating your description text? Recruiters should consider using photos and video in their job descriptions to spice them up. By using free services like those provided at my own company, Ongig (http://ongig.com), employers can create job descriptions with socially connectable qualities by using visuals with videos, photos, and thumbnails of people in the community around every job. This will sell your brand and also attract the right candidates.

This must be one of those weeks where you took an old tried and true article, tweaked and posted it again.

You had me excited about the title and I thought I was going to learn some new tools for sourcing, or a mobile app or two.

Throw us something new why dontcha!
